CHIEF Remain luvvie Emma Thompson was made a Dame in the Queen's Birthday Honours list last night as a string of Europhiles were rewarded.

The Oscar-winning actress, best known for her roles in Remains of the Day and Sense and Sensibility, sparked outrage during the EU referendum campaign by branding Britain “a cake-filled misery-laden grey old island.”

Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg said of Thompson's award: 'I hope it will lift a little of her misery'

Other vocal opponents of Brexit were also recognised in the honours - including a knighthood for historian and broadcaster Simon Schama while fellow historian Mary Beard was made a Dame.

There was also a knighthood for novelist Kazuo Ishiguro - another anti-Brexit campaigner.

Just one notable Brexit campaigner was honoured, with Tory MP Bernard Jenkin made a ‘Sir’.

Meanwhile deputy Commons Speaker Eleanor Laing was made a Dame - meaning John Bercow is the only member of his team not to have a title.

It's L'OBE Actually..

ACTRESS Keira Knightley was handed an OBE last night - 15 years after scoring her breakthrough role as a football-loving teenager in Bend It Like Beckham.

The Love Actually star, 33, was honoured for her services to drama and charity after becoming the face of an Amnesty International human rights campaign and her work with Oxfam, Women's Aid, WaterAid, Comic Relief and Unicef.

A year after Bend It Like Beckham put her on the map Knightley achieved global fame as Elizabeth Swann in Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl alongside Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom at the age of 17.

She went on to reprise the role in three other films in the franchise, including a cameo in the most recent effort Dead Men Tell No Tales in 2017.

Among Knightley's most famous roles was playing as Elizabeth Bennet in the 2005 big-screen version of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice, as 1930s' character Cecilia Tallis in 2007's Atonement and Bletchley Park cryptanalyst Joan Clarke in The Imitation Game in 2014, set in the Second World War.

Other period drama movies on her CV include wartime romance The Edge Of Love, Anna Karenina - based on Leo Tolstoy's 1877 novel of the same name, A Dangerous Method, a historical film set in the early 1900s, 18th century royal drama The Duchess, and 2004 historical adventure film King Arthur.

Knightley was first nominated for an Oscar in 2006, as best actress for Pride & Prejudice, and again for best supporting actress for The Imitation Game in 2015.

She was joined on the honours list by hard man actor Tom Hardy, who received a CBE for services to drama.

The 40-year-old actor is known for Inception, Mad Max: Fury Road, Bronson and The Revenant.

But he also made an unlikely face on CBeebies, reading a bedtime story on the pre-school channel, where he was a hit with mothers.

The star has spoken about how he went off the rails and suffered from alcohol addiction in his youth.

And he checked himself into rehab in 2003 and has been clean ever since.
